Developing a strategy is about laying out goals that move your business or organization forward and the plan for achieving them. A partner with experience working across industries can help to fill gaps in your knowledge or strengthen a plan by adding more thought power to the process.
Schedule a call
Strategy development takes approximately six weeks, though timing depends on agreed upon deliverables and schedule alignment.
A one-hour deep-dive kickoff to outline objectives, agree what success looks like and confirm the process and deliverables. Then a review of your existing strategies, data and initiatives so the work is framed in the right business and brand context.
A communications audit of your current marketing against best practice and against how comparable brands and offerings show up. Detailed audience cohort descriptions, and an assessment of how your team plans, ideates and creates content today.
A collaborative working session to share findings, initial observations and work-in-progress recommendations. This is where your team shapes the final direction rather than receiving it.
Social strategic pillars. Audience cohorts. Platform strategy — where, when and how often to post. Cultural signals. A measurement framework. Marketing operations recommendations. And how to operationalise all of it.
A check-in after delivery to see how implementation is actually going. If you want more hands-on guidance from there, we can continue in an hourly advisory capacity.
These touchpoints will be scheduled and the timeline confirmed upon contract signing, receipt of initial payment, completion of the discovery questionnaire and submission of supporting business, brand and marketing documents.
This engagement focuses on developing the strategy and giving your team clear direction for putting it into practice. The playbook includes recommendations for your audience, content, platforms, measurement, and marketing operations. If you need help applying the recommendations, we can discuss ongoing advisory support.
Your team is an essential part of the process. They bring knowledge of your customers, existing work, and day-to-day challenges. We’ll involve the right people in discovery and workshops so the strategy reflects their experience, your business priorities, and the resources available to execute it.
The playbook is the result of the work we do together. Discovery, research, and workshops help us determine what your business needs and test recommendations before they become the final plan. That participation gives your team the context to understand the strategy and use it.
The right choice depends on what your business needs. A full-time marketing leader provides ongoing leadership, while an agency brings capabilities to carry out specific work. This engagement helps you establish direction, identify gaps, and clarify what support to hire or retain. It can also help an existing team or agency work toward shared priorities.
Strategy development takes approximately six weeks, depending on schedule alignment. Your team will complete a discovery questionnaire, provide relevant materials, and participate in kickoff and working sessions. We’ll agree on the schedule and participants before the engagement begins.
We’ll check in 30 to 60 days after delivery to discuss implementation, what your team is learning, and where adjustments may be needed. If you want continued guidance as you put the strategy to work, we can discuss a separate advisory engagement.
If you prefer to consult first, book a 30-minute session, and I will let you know the right process for you.
